St Ann's Hospice

St Ann's Hospice is a charity in Greater Manchester, England, providing palliative care.

It was established in 1971 on the initiative of Dr Moya Cole from the Christie Hospital, Manchester. It now runs two centres: St Ann's Hospice Heald Green and St Ann's Hospice, Little Hulton. On 3 July 2025 it has announced it's plan to change it's name to Moya Cole Hospice in October 2025.

Like most hospices in the UK, it is largely funded by voluntary donations. About a third of its funding is provided by the NHS, so has to raise around £20,000 a day to keep the hospices open.[1]

The organisation abandoned national NHS payscales in 2014 and set up its own.[2]
